✅ WHAT? 1000W Solar LED Street Light? Let's Test This Out - Compare To Hardwired 150W LED
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 26 ноя 2022
- Here's a solar powered LED street light with a claimed 1000W of power and 100,000 Lumens of light output. How does it perform compared to a AC powered 150W claimed LED barn light? Overall this solar light seems expensive for what you get, especially when I compare it to my hardwired units but it is nice that it is fully stand alone and needs no AC power. OKPRO sent this light to me for the unbiased review.

Outstanding video. Thank you so much for making this video. Simple, short, straight to the point and very educational. 👍👍💯♥️
Nate is living it up! Dude has tennis courts at his place.
Don't be silly...I only have a tennis court, not courts! 😄
Excellent review! I really appreciated the overhead shots so that we could see the intensity and coverage area of each light. The use of a light meter was a surprise and that's what really made the difference for me. Descriptions of light products tends to be exaggerated (putting it mildly) so it's nearly pointless to go by what you read on some of those. Thanks. Liked and subbed.
Glad you enjoyed it!
I agree a very well done and helpful review
As someone who works for a solar lighting manufacturer - this is a great review - and a great showcase of how these systems are sold with inaccurate and dishonest information. It is frustrating to work in an industry where people will compare that "toy" solar light with one manufactured by a reputable company. This also leads people to believe that all solar lights are like this - when that is not the case at all. There are a handful of us manufacturers who provide accurate data and systems built to last. Thanks for your review!
Raggin do you mind sharing some reputable solar light manufacturers? I’ve been researching these for a few months.
A member of my family bought one that claims to be 25W, I didn't believe a word of it just by looking at the blastic enclosure😂 Opening it and looking at the single 5h LFP cell (which I measured several times to be 3.5Ah) made me laugh even more. The market is full of scammy solar floodlights, I think I am gonna amale a video about mine too just to raise awareness
@@wadegannaway9069 for small residential stuff, there isn't really much. I work in the commercial industry for like streets, parking lots, signs, etc. I'd be happy to send you what we do.
@@nosafetyswitch9378 yes these shady companies make it so difficult because they trick people and then make all solar companies look bad!
@@RagginDragon13 Please do. Thanks. I'm a newbie on this subject
Thanks for the honest review Nate.
I figured as much ! Thanks for the actual facts. Great Video
Great analysis. Thank you. I like all the lights around your house. They look great.
Thanks for watching!
You are right about the watt rating. It is not a measure of power consumption, it is an equivalency rating compared to traditional incandescent lights. When LED lighting first became available to consumers, manufacturers realized that consumers were familiar with measuring the light output of a bulb by the power it consumed. Since LEDs consume so little power, they had to add an equivalent watt rating to allow consumers to compare the output of LEDs to the output of traditional lights.
That makes sense. Bottom line is don`t believe the hype on the advertised lumens on solar power lights.
Nicely Proven! Thank You!
You're welcome!
glad I saw this just saved myself a headache for some boat dock lighting!
Yes
My question now is, is there a good brand of these & can i add a few to my back yard for my garden for early season cloudy weeks just as a tiny boost early in the morning to add a few hours of light
Great video. The lights are insane. Btw, I almost thought your Gary Sinise. 😂
🥸
Chinese suppliers from Zhongshan always overstate much LED's real power, they make 20W as 1000W! so when you buy solar light, check solar panel power and battery's capacity and you can calculate the real watt.
You made a helpful video thanks
You're welcome
how long it last a 1000wats for 150w led?
I had two of these several years ago. Both failed right away. Parts fell off in the wind and they became a dangling string of parts connected by wires. I tried to rebuild them but to no avail. I finally just discontinued them. I still have all the parts in a cardboard box in my shop. Not worth the time to install.
Superb test and on point.Cheers mate!
Glad you liked it!
We have a couple two 200W AC LED lights, one on the front lawn and one on the inner yard (200W true consumption). I prefer that solution as it is driven by my solar panels on the roof (16800Wp).
Due to maximized govt. subsidy this year, we will wait to get batteries until 2024 when we get another SEK 100.000 (about US$9100) in subsidy, but after that, we are pretty well equipped to use AC lighting outside. Now it is more that we save on the electricity bill during the day to "have left" for night lights. Great video, and as said very nice with the drone view to see the difference 👍
I think installing premium solar panels on the barn/garage is better than relying on (probably) less quality panels on every device, I don't mind installing some cabling to make it work, but I do see that for some it is more convenient to have all-in-one lights.
Agreed!
Thank you so much very appreciated
You're welcome!
Gary Sinise reviews lights

Hallo how mich is 1000w
Can you have it off? And sense movement and only then will it turn on?
And then turn on by say remote?
Or do you have to pre set it at the unit? Which if in a high position would be difficult.
Hope this made sense.
You can use the remote to set the modes and yes it can be off and turn on only with motion.
Want to keep your eye on something these will do it.!!😉
Solar has tons of potential since it was first talked of decades ago. Not much has changed and if the tech ever improves for real we will all hear about it. Stick with high quality hard wired.
Thank you so much
You're welcome
I was looking at that light when I was looking for a solar light but I didn't want a 1000eatt light in my garden. Obviously that's more like a 50 watt output
Right
I bought a 100 watt light similar to that but the damn thing isn't working the way it should. It should go to 40% brightness unless it senses motion but it continually goes from 100% to 30% all night even if there's no motion in the garden. It's been like this since the day I got it.
Also it was supposed to come with a remote control and when I contacted Amazon because there was no remote control I was given a full refund.
I wouldn't worry about the longevity of that though. The light I got is more than 6 months old and it's stood up to very strong gusts of wind in a few storm's
I've got 2 and I love mine!
Very nice unboxing solar LED street light video.
waoo, what a rip off of equipment...! thanks for the information and the work well done!
I purchased a similar light for a carpark in my complex where I live as another tenant turns off the carpark lights constantly.
I want to install the light below the existing electric light. It will get full sun.
It came with everything to install on the pole except the rear bracket.
Where can I purchase one as a quick search only sells the whole setup pole etc.
I dont know what the bracket is called. Or is there another way I can attach it to the pole without a back bracket?
You could use U-bolts of an appropriate size
Thanks for the quick reply😊. I'll try that.
I have a question, i have lights similar to this and they have brightness controls, do these have those too?
Yes it does
I have this same one (a couple of them) and my one at the street stopped working. Is there a reset button or way to factory reset it? I clicked the red power button on and off, tried using the remote but it won't turn on and hasn't for a few months and is clear to gain a charge.
I would guess the battery is bad
Thanks for exposing these companies. I've learned to never believe all the false claims that manufacturers claim in a miriad of product lines. It's unfortunate that they continue to get away with it. Hence, we all need to remember that old phrase, BUYER BEWARE!
Thank you for doing this comparison.
Can you help me understand why a hardwired 150W is brighter than a 1000W?
sorry if it is a silly question, i figured power is power.....
Because its not actually 1000w!
I believe 150W hard wire consume 150 watts of electricity but emit a lot more LUMEN than the so called 1000W solar crap which in my opinion is less than a 1/4 of the wired one.
Glad I found your helpful video. This is the very model I was shopping. Very disappointed now. Looks like the better answer is a bunch of 300W working in tandem is the best way to go. Otherwise commercial grade is what’s needed, and that’s going to be highly expensive for just one solor powered street light. My guess is well over a grand each. At least they won’t be plastic either. Thanks for the review. And I would want the light to stay on more than 30 seconds at full brightness so I have time to look around to see what might be out there that triggered the light to come on full brightness.
The light will stay on as long as it detect movements but cut off after 30 seconds if there are no movements
How do i purshase the barn light u have
amzn.to/3rJCcV6
If they really have 864 true 5730 chips that's around 380 watts.
What happens to the battery in this unit if it is charging in freezing conditions?
They claim its outdoor rated, including cold
@@NaterTater Interesting! You should dig around and see if it indeed uses a Lithium Ion or LiFePo type battery as then it also needs a heater or insulation to keep the cell from freezing, or use the heat from the solar panels to heat cell before charging it. Failing to do so can kill the battery, and in worst case cause a quite dramatic failure. (Sparks, gas, fire)
@@1kreature lead acid
@@NaterTater From the listing: "LED street light uses high capacity, low attenuation 32650 lithium-ION phosphate batteries, with stable voltage and longer service life."
Also from listing: Battery voltage: 6v
Now, misspelling Lithium Iron Phosphate is probably, and 2s would be a tad over 6v nominal. Lithium phosphate batteries must be charged at non freezing.
what's the lumens output on this light?
They claim 100,000 lumens but that is bogus. Closer to a couple thousand.
@@NaterTater yea that is nowhere near that many linens. I’ve been looking for a good, bright, solar light that I could put up about 15 feet in the air and it light up my parking lot. I guess you could say it’s just a bunch of land I own and I really don’t want to transition from power out to the poles
Friend, try the Philips SmartBright Solar products, they are the only ones I know of for sale that deliver the real power they promise....
Thanks
Cant this be set up 100% motion?
Yes it can.
It is nice to be wireless, but I think the eco friendly appeal of these solar integrated items will be short lived (solar panels on cars, solar lights, solar roads). Hopefully once solar power is made cheaper and easier, they will be at high scale and optimized for getting the most power. Then we won’t have to worry about matching up solar to a usage 1:1 like these products do.
I think that light needs to be opened up!
I have a solar street light, it is very bright, I am very happy that it is wireless, it does not cost me a penny of electricity throughout the year. Spending more than two hundred dollars on a solar street light is a bargain for me.I'm looking forward to seeing this solar technology mature! wow!!!
What brand or what model of why is it that you’re using? I’m looking for a good, bright, solar light myself.
@@jerrymartinez9311 I have 3 90 WATT lights from ENDURANCE, the 90 watt light puts out 9,000 lumens
They work quite well as long as they get enough Sun oh, they are also quite bright enough if you place them the right way
Being plastic, and dark no less, is a hard no go in georgia sun. It wouldn't even last a year before going brittle and cracking. I haven't found a plastic yet that can survive where I live. Best ones last maybe 2-3 years. Light output was also disappointing.
I grew up in Georgia and this light is actually installed in Costa Rica now! Still running fine for now but yes the sun destroys stuff.
I have same like that and its 3000W
Magical and wonderful technology
Remember you have to charge it 2 days for full capacity.
And another 2 lifetimes after that to get it to work at all, let alone 1000 watts. A fool and his money will soon part.
@@aday1637 LOL too funny
some folks indicated, on test of this unit, that it has a remote and you can change the brightness...apparently it is dimmable. You might want to try this again and this time, give the product a fair handshake...and how much did you pay for this ? also, editors have a CG capablilty...aka text overlay....use it whenever you are communicating information as numbers...thanks
as usual, the claims are outrageous. its getting out of hand. caveat emptor as always. thanks.
“Solar panel wattage is the total amount of power the solar panel can produce in a given amount of time. This is usually measured in watts and is calculated by multiplying the solar panel’s voltage, amperage, and the number of cells in the solar panel. The power rating of a typical solar panel varies between 40-480.”
I found this quote on Greenlancer website. I think solar wattage is calculated different than just regular wattage from a traditional AC house voltage.
Can it run 100% power at all times during the night?
Its weak, dont buy it. Overpriced.
I thought you liked it. @@NaterTater
@christianbugatticg no, I demonstrate how weak the output is and how inflated the wattage rating is. If you need a solar powered light, this is a reasonable light/design but certainly not at the cost they charge.
gotcha!! Any suggestions for super bright exterior lights for a business? Full time brightness.
@@NaterTater
Hey buddy I know you have some on your house and I know them things are bright as hell can you send me a link to those I would like to get me some of those cuz I know those are really bright I appreciate your brother I know this is an old video so thank you

@@NaterTater ty bud
Definitely not 1000 watts. I got one 1/6 that’s size and it does a great job. They should just be honest. These types of lights are decent. Mine was all metal.
1000w is an equivalent rating to a halogen light output
I think that is what they are going for but even then its an order of magnitude off.
1000w lol heatsing 1kw its big problem and supply battery... this light power is 20w max
I have all kinds of outdoor solar lighting. My regret is buying 2 of them. Definitely no bang for the buck.
What a good brand I can look into
@@smokeyhb1 what kind of area are you lighting
@@offgridamy7176 around my house but I want bright ones
@@offgridamy7176 a half acre lot with a 2 story building on property
@@smokeyhb1 I find the little solar flood lights much better. They come with own panel and about 10 feet of cable. One problem I had with street light design was sun direction didn't allow me to place them where I needed lighting
The 150 is better

Dude looks like lt.dan

Think u got burnt buddy 😮
Turns out the lux meter is also Chinese.😅
Fake marketing
Solar one is crap as always regenerables suck
Well it's good if you have no power.
You could save a lot of electricity money and you called it suck? Cool story.
@@AarozEzio its not about saving power its about having a light. Chinese manufacturers lie about specs and thats why they have bad products
@@Chris-hw4mq that's why you need to choose carefully and do research when buying.
What about michigan winters
I wouldnt go for this specific light. The price to performance ratio is poor.
What if you don't get direct sunlight
It wont work without good direct sunlight
Thanks for debunking this!
